Can demi-gods have children, and what happens when two demi-gods have a child?

Question

Are demi-gods fertile? This just occured to me the other day. :P

If they are, what are their kids like? What happens if two demi-gods have a child together?

Answer 1

If we go with demi-gods having half- divine and half-mortal genes, then there's a fifty percent chance their kid would be a demi-god half-breed, with a quarter of one god's blood and a quarter of the other god's. There's a twenty-five percent chance they'd be full godly, and twenty-five that they'd be just plain human.

To explain the quarter one gods and quarter other, think about if you had two grandparents who were Scandinavian, one who's Indian, and one Scottish. You'd be technically one-half Scandinavian, one quarter Indian, and one quarter Scottish.

You'd think they'd just be automatically demi-god, but I'm assuming divinity is inherited separately from humanity. Does this question have anything to do with the Percy Jackson stories??

Answer 2

Yes, demi gods can have children. Hercules did. And if two demi gods have a kid together the kid will be full god haha. I don't know, but it sounds good. The child could either have a power like their parents or there could be a chance that the child will just be mortal.

Answer 3

I'm guessing the children of half bloods would have the same powers as the demigod parents, but a smaller version. Like, Percy's child would have some control over water, but not as much as Percy or Poseidon.

Answer 4

If their gametes obey Mendealian genetics, then 1/4 of their children will be full gods, 1/2 will be demigods, and 1/4 will be mere mortals...

Answer 5

Demigods in mythology were fertile, yes. I assume if two half-bloods had a child together, it would be half of each, hence two-parts human, one-part father god, and one-part mother god.

Answer 6

Hippolytus was the son of two demigods. His father Theseus (the one who killed the Minotaur) was a son of Poseidon; his mother Antiope was a daughter of Ares.

Answer 7

You have quasi gods. Or if you have two demigods have a kid, you get one full god and one full mortal one or four quasi gods.

Answer 8

I am only an average person who has read and studied numerous religious beliefs and find the various interpretations of the foundation of humanity interesting. My humanness is such that I am a mix of 6 different European nationalities and Unknown American Indian. This makes it difficult for me to judge anyone. I find myself a student of life and amazement of the facts (my perception) from various religions. I was made from earthly elements and the simple breathe of a god forged my life into being. When I die that breathe returns from which it came. Is that not amazing. Does it matter? I guess it matters if your great-great-great-.......grandparents was a God or Demigods and you believe that makes you special. I personally would not wish that destiny on anyone. People would expect me to solve all their problems rather that doing it for themselves.

Answer 9

Didnt Jesus give us the right to be sons of god? then it doesnt matter who your earthly parents are does it?



Know and do the will of the Father in heaven, thats all you need to do. Its in your heart.

Answer 10

Nothing perfectly fine. :)
